Change is the only constant!
Change is the only constant!
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
― George Bernard Shaw
The essence of life lies in the fact that it is perpetually moving. We often quote that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", which makes us believe that people have different perspectives, different habits and different outlooks, and thus they see things differently.
Life is a journey which teaches a lesson at its every phase. Most of us believe that books are the best companion during the journey of life and make us learn a way of life. Books, undoubtedly, make a mind resourceful and make one capable of comprehending situations in a better way; but their approach is idealist in nature. As life moves on, we start incorporating a change within us which is moving from the idealist conventional approach towards life to a more realistic and rational approach; which is learnt through other external sources.
Our brain is not only a collection of neurons and a cluttered network of nerves, but a structure made up of rational and emotional perspectives. When we move in life from one phase to another, changes happen, and these changes root in our mind. The mind is the reflection of the expressions of the body, which are the reflection of a person's habits and characteristics.
Change is the only constant, we say, and thus the brain is also capable of processing a number of changes and storing a huge database of these changes and the moments related to these changes. But we seldom know how to trigger these changes and make a life worthy of everything; about how to make our brain function for things capable of making life better. The answer to these questions lies in the fact that the brain should always be given food and fodder to keep the neurons working and open up new horizons to reach.
"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance" -Alan W. Wats.

Hi Ken- this is kind of shot in the dark but thought I'd give it a try. I'm related to a Wade H Adams (DOB: abt Nov-1-1876), son of James Pinckney Adams & Julia Porter.Wade lived in the Richmond, VA area and had a sister, Eugenia (DOB 1862 in Mecklenburg Co, NC).Does this sound like your Wade H Adams.If so, sure would like to share some information with you.

The important thing to remember if you have diabetes is that this is a disease of which you can stay in complete control as long as you know how. Make sure you take the time to read the tips below to find out how you can work to control your diabetes. A few minutes of your day will go a long way.
Peanut butter is an excellent way to satisfy a craving for something sweet when you're diabetic. It contains healthy fats and is relatively low in sugar, so grab a spoon and dig in. Lick it like a lollipop and it will outlast any craving you have. Be careful if you put it on crackers or bread because you will need to include those carbohydrates in your daily counts.
When you're planning to go to a doctor's visit, write down any concerns you have. It doesn't matter how outlandish they may seem, it's much easier to read them off a page (or PDA or tablet, whatever works for you) than trying to remember them. Every bit of information you gain will help you keep your health in check!
Diabetics should work exercise into their daily routine, so think about what you're doing right now and how you could be doing more. Maybe it's putting a pile of books under your desk and stepping your feet up and down them. How about getting up and chasing the dog around the house for 10 minutes? Every bit helps!
If you feel someone is giving you unwelcome advice about diabetes, ask them to back off. If you do it politely they won't be offended, and you won't have to listen to them rattle on about things you either don't care about or already know. If you have the knowledge to back it up then you'll become the master of your domain!
When traveling it is especially important to keep food with you. You may be strolling through a museum or shopping in an unknown area, and you could find that there is nothing healthy or appealing to eat. If you have your own snack it will at least tide you over until you can find something palatable.
If you have a family history of diabetes, prevention is very important. A great way to prevent diabetes is to increase your intake of fiber. Foods that are high in fiber include fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains and nuts. Foods high in fiber increase your blood sugar control ability, which in turn reduces your chances of getting diabetes. Filling your plate up with foods high in fiber is an important way to prevent diabetes.
Of course, while it only takes a few minutes to read these tips, it may take a long time to properly apply them so that you're experiencing the best possible results. Do not let diabetes deter you. It may be an ongoing battle, but it is a battle you can win as long as you're using information like what you have learned here.


text: I was ranked number sixteen in the world when Matthiew Zug approached me on twitter in april 2014. Matthiew had built a 14-court squash and tennis facility in the New York area and expressed an interest in inviting me to play an exhibition match at the grand opening of the new club. I put him in touch with my manager to discuss further details. The program involved hitting with some juniors on day one, playing an exhibition match with the local pro on day two, and spending some time on court with sponsors on day three. The club would pay a fee of 6000 USD for my three day appearance as well as cover all expenses. Matthiew also mentioned that spending some time at the club might turn out to be of even more value to me. An interesting future job opportunity perhaps, while I was in 'the latest stage of my career', he kindly brought to my attention.

August 25, 2016 - Word of the Day
1 Chronicles 7-9
1 Chronicles 9:26 For in this trusted office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
God's people must be faithful to the trust given to them.
Trust is an important topic these days. In a few short months Americans will go to the polls to cast a vote "hopefully" for the person they trust the most to lead our nation. Some of those candidates have not given us reason to trust. Recent headlines cast much suspicion on their "trustability".
Four Levites were placed in a great position of trust…Chief Gatekeepers. You know that part of their job was to protect and take care of the house of God.
Has God place you in a position of trust? Has He placed upon your shoulders a "gatekeeper" position? I know the answer: YES!
Every one of us who name the precious name of Christ is in a position of trust. God has entrusted us with a message of hope and love that we must share with the world. God has given us stewardship of time that should be spent living to His glory and honor. The Master has given us a talent that He expects us to use. He wants to see it multiplied in our life.
Let's be faithful to the trust He has bestowed upon us.
God's people must be faithful to the trust given to them.
Lord, thank You for the work YOU lay before us…may we never take the trust placed in us for granted but may we do our duties with integrity, diligence and a "heart for YOU"…in Jesus Name…AMEN!!!

Taxing for shared prosperity: policy options for the Asia-Pacific region
The Asia-Pacific region was a model for 'growing with equity' in the 1970s and 1980s. However an economic take-off and market-oriented reforms in recent years has been accompanied by wealth gaps between rich and poor. This report suggests a course for the region's economies to be defined by inclusive growth and shared prosperity.
Mobilising domestic resources to help Mali's poorest populations
In Mali, French aid aims to build the technical capacity of Malian administrations to collect tax by fighting against fraud and tax evasion. However, collecting more domestic resources alone will not be sufficient to reduce poverty. France must support watch-dog organizations to ensure greater transparency and accountability on the use of these resources for the benefit of the poorest.

Scams: What Seniors Should Beware Of
By: Jody Smith
An article on Accountingdegree.com has issued some cautionary information to seniors to help them better protect themselves from fraud. The imagination and creativity of the con artist seems to know no bounds, and when one old trick has become obvious and obsolete, they've already moved on to a new one.
Here are some scams to keep an eye open for.
Low-risk, high-return investment offers are actually higher risk and lower return than the con artist wants you to see. To protect yourself from being taken in, be sure to look into the alleged opportunity and learn more about it. Ask for professional advice -- from someone else, unconnected to the financial offer on the table. Don't make quick decisions.
Charitable gift annuities that are legitimate are great. Charitable gift annuities that are phony are obviously something to avoid. How to tell the difference between the two? Always do your research first. Make sure there is indeed such a charity, and that it is something you want to support. If you decide to go ahead, do so through a professional financial advisor you know you can trust.
Watch out for high-return CDs (certificates of deposit) that promise more than they really deliver, sold for less of a cost than they really exact. Another way of putting this is to say that the con artists peddling fraudulent high-return CDs will take your money but they won't invest it and you will be out the money. Once again, do your research, and find out whether these people are who they say they are.
An article on Nolo.com reported that the form of elder abuse that is ahead of the pack is financial fraud. It went on to say that Consumers Digest indicated there are 5 million cases or more annually in the United States. Yet only 1 in every 25 cases is believed to be reported to law enforcement or to the government each year due to embarrassment or confusion on the part of the senior involved.
Telemarketing and mail fraud combined are thought to rake in about $40 billion per year affecting one in six Americans, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The AARP said that of these telemarketing and mail fraud cases, approximately 80 percent are 50 years of age or more.
Phony winnings are time-honored and popular scams. A senior may be told that they've won something and all they have to do is send money to cover fees and taxes, or to cover charges at customs, before they get their prize. This may seem to be a transparent scam, but not everyone has been seeing it that way unfortunately. The U.S. Attorney General said that over a billion dollars a year is stolen this way every year.

Some Finnish companies are sending their economic-secrets openly and then loosing their orders, for USA, for Chinese etc. Stupid Finns.

RSPCA inspectors are invesigating after a chameleon was tied in a plastic bag, dumped and left for dead among garden waste in Hastings
The reptile was found by a St Helen's Crescent resident on Sunday, February 14.
RSPCA inspector Zoe Ballard took it to a specialist vets for treatment but sadly nothing could be done and it was put to sleep under veterinary advice.
Inspector Ballard said: "The poor little chap was clearly very unwell and to be dumped in a bag in this cold weather is completely unreasonable and inhumane.
"Like many other reptiles, chameleons cannot regulate their own body temperature so rely on the environment they are in.
"They are also very susceptible to infection and they are more at risk when placed into a dank environment."
The chameleon was dumped outside in freezing temperatures.
"This is a terrible thing to do to any animal but it is particularly harmful for a chameleon as they are very sensitive and will suffer when placed in an incorrect environment," Inspector Ballard said.
"The fact that he could not be saved is evidence of that."
"It is upsetting that this poor chameleon was so ill there was nothing that could be done for him.
"It is a possibility that the owners took on this animal but were unable to provide the care he needs and decided to dump him.
"We are urging potential owners to thoroughly research what is required in the care of any animal before taking one on."
The RSPCA is experiencing widespread neglect and abandonment of exotic animals across England and Wales and every year the charity takes thousands of calls from members of the public about exotic pets; the number involving reptiles in particular has been steadily rising.
In 2015, the RSPCA received 4,990 calls about reptiles – a 37 per cent increase from ten years ago.
"Potential owners need to make sure they can give their animal the environment it needs and they have the facilities, time, financial means and long-term commitment to maintain a good standard of care."
The animal welfare charity is now appealing for anyone with information about how the chameleon may have ended up dumped among the garden rubbish to contact the RSPCA Inspectorate Appeal Line in confidence on 0300 123 8018 and leave a message for inspector Ballard.
The RSPCA is a charity and rely on public donations to exist.
To assist inspectors in carrying out their vital work text HELP to 78866 to give £3 (Texts cost £3 + one standard network rate message).

World Class Guitarist Odair Assad Pays Homage To Brazil, Family, Friends, Friday At Benaroya
Odair Assad
Seattle Weekly
By Todd Hamm
Odair Assad
Benaroya Recital Hall
Friday, March 2
In one of his first Seattle concert engagements as a solo guitarist, the Brazllian guitarist Odair Assad shone brilliantly in Benaroya Hall's upstairs recital hall (Dan Savage was interviewing Fran Lebowitz on stage downstairs in the big room simultaneously, so not a bad night for Benaroya).The audience was intensely observant, and the roughly two-thirds-full room, hung upon each note, and charming ad-lib between songs (and yes, I got busted for taking pictures with my camera phone).
I'd say the show wasn't more than a degree short of perfection for two reasons: for one, I'm embarrassingly under-qualified to be reviewing such a high-level classical guitar spectacle; and two, Assad played like one of the finest guitar players in the world, which he certainly is.
Broken into two parts, the show began with Assad's renditions of traditional Brazilian pieces by the likes of Gismonti, Sardinha, Pixinguinha, and composer of all composers, Villa Lobos. His command of the strings was phenomenal, but perhaps his most engaging quality, and one that he's become well known for, is the natural flare that he brings to each composition: moving ("hypnotizing" as one woman volunteered at intermission); swaying; nearly dancing each note from the instrument; delivering each phrase with his own personal inflection. He truly made each piece his own.
The second half of the show was devoted to pieces that have been specifically written for, or "dedicated to" (to borrow some classical guitar speak) Assad personally, which really put into perspective the amount of respect that the man has earned on the world scene. As a whole, this segment displayed a more contemporary, progressive style of composition, utilizing percussive techniques on the strings and body of the guitar, and a generally more experimental take on the form. The 2007 piece "Sonata del Caminante" ("Sonata of the traveler") by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, which, on paper, comprises four movements, was performed as a seamless journey, rather than isolated vignettes, and was punctuated by flurries of action.
Assad then debuted his most recent dedication, "Old Friend", which happened to be composed by Seattle resident Kevin Callahan (who was in attendance). This was truly an interesting piece. The program explained it as an homage to the late Jorge Assad, father of Odair, who passed away in the summer of 2011. So, in hearing it played this night, we were hearing a Brazilian man's take on a Seattle man's take on a Brazilian man. Or, more poetically, we were hearing the strength of their friendship through music. Like lining up mirrors, or playing telephone, it resulted in an interesting product. The piece seemed metropolitan, and, as echoed by Assad's more mechanical body language, less jovial. This was compounded by the fact that he had had only a short period of time to learn the piece, and brought out (read: had an assistant bring out) a music stand with sheet music from which to read. It sounded great regardless, and it deserves to be mentioned that it was preceded by a beautiful moment where Odair addressed Callahan as his "best friend."
The night was closed out with a six-part composition called "Seis Brevidades", a piece that tracked the emotional journey through the course of a day, and happened to have been dedicated to Assad by his brother Sergio.
In my humble, rock-critic opinion, the brilliant thing about Assad's playing is the sheer restraint that the man has in terms of volume and tempo. With music so carefully written, the subtlest of variations can change the entire personality of a song, and he controlled the pieces with the utmost patience. His versatility is also impressive: his lively playing spiced up the earlier half of the night just as well as his technical prowess shone through during the later numbers. But even when he played the songs in a more "literal" manner (as Callahan remarked to me after the show), and allowed the composer's voice to be heard more clearly, the songs, as well as the night, certainly belonged to Assad.

P3s have seen much success within the student housing sector – so much success that they are now expanding into other types of facilities. Properly utilized, these partnerships can be an important development tool for colleges and universities, and meet the challenges presented by their institution's need for new and renovated buildings.
Through a series of keynotes, case studies, panels, workshops, and diverse networking opportunities, attendees will deepen their understanding on the value proposition of P3s, and the role they can play in the delivery of essential campus infrastructure.
Over 100 leading industry practitioners will present their firsthand observations of P3 projects on campuses around the country. We will also offer multiple days of in-depth roundtable discussions for audience members interested in discussing specific issues in a more candid and interactive forum. Facilitated by some of our industry's leading experts, participants will be able to ask questions and share experiences on specific case studies, targeted issues, and topics shaping the P3 landscape while meeting other project owners confronting similar challenges.
Specifically, our program will highlight the P3 arrangements employed by education institutions to successfully develop and construct a variety of assets including academic facilities, classrooms and labs, student housing, parking structures, athletic spaces and many more.
The 2017 program will address the best practices and lessons learned from active P3 projects in both the construction and operation phases. Universities will discuss how to drive innovation and value for money, how they came to finding the right risk transfer balance, and their expectations for the next 20-30 years.
Attendees with little experience in the development and operation of the P3 model will benefit from our industry experts presenting their knowledge, and valuable insights into market trends crucial for business decisions.
More seasoned professionals will benefit from our incredible networking opportunities with over 750 participating delegates, cultivate relationships with project owners, and learn new methods to address complex project delivery goals.
We will offer multiple daily breaks, receptions, one-on-one meeting areas, and specific events designed for you to meet P3 professionals, project owners, and a chance to reconnect with old colleagues.
A comprehensive list of best practices and lessons learned will be presented in the agenda including:
- Pros and cons of using a P3 model
- Best practices in P3 procurement; how to select and negotiate with prospective partners
- Overview of potential credit impacts P3s can have on an institution's rating and debt capacity
- Identifying various types of P3 structures and how to evaluate the model's respective merits and risks

- P3 risk balance and expectation management
- Latest innovations and life-cycle efficiencies in P3 delivery
A variety of forums including keynotes, panel sessions, and workshops discussing:
- State of the P3 Higher Education Industry
- Aligning Client, Community, and Developer Perspectives
- Projects In‐Process: Goals, Challenges and Early Lessons
- Early market engagement: Principles and Examples of Good Practice Through a Live Market Sounding
- Partnership beyond Financial Close
- Leveraging Partnerships for Institutional Transformation and Maximum Impact

- Flexibility and options using the P3 model: There is no one size fits all solution
- Designing for the future: bringing buildings to "life" in life-cycle procurement planning
Roundtable discussions are designed to facilitate short informal conversations among groups of participants. Facilitators will guide discussions at each table by presenting some of the most notable case studies, targeted issues and topics shaping the P3 Higher Education landscape across the country.
Below is a sample list of our discussion topics:
Table 1: Driving Value and Reducing Risk through Project Definition

This pre-Summit session is designed for those beginning to explore P3s, helping them understand where P3s can be applicable and how they can save money and time when dealing with upgrades and capital improvement plans. Learn when P3s do or do not make sense, and what major considerations need to be made once choosing this route, including the first steps.
Conference delegates will be able to interact with industry leaders and higher education business and facility officers in a relaxed social setting as well as meet with some of our presenters, sponsors, and event partners.
Exhibition Row is one of our central meeting points for all attendees during the event. Attendees are encouraged to setup one-on-one, pre-scheduled, or private appointments with participants.

Damages refer to the injuries or losses that you or your family suffers in an accident involving personal injuries. In order for you to claim damages, another person or business must have acted in a negligent way so as to cause your injuries. When this situation occurs, you may be entitled to different kinds of damages under Wisconsin law, to the extent that you can show proof or evidence of your injuries or other damages.
Compensatory damages are the most common type of damages that a person suffers in a personal injury lawsuit. For instance, assume that an individual is speeding and hits your vehicle, causing you to break some bones, undergo surgery, and miss work for six weeks. In this situation, you may have a claim against the individual who caused the accident for compensatory damages such as medical bills. Your compensable medical expenses may include the costs of ambulance transport from the scene of the accident to the hospital, emergency room care, surgical expenses, the costs of rehabilitation or physical therapy, and prescription and medical equipment costs. In terms of lost wages, you may have a claim for the six weeks of lost salary or wages that you suffered due to your injuries.
Pain and suffering is another type of damages that might be available to you in a Wisconsin personal injury action. Many accidents are highly traumatic, particularly if you or a family member has suffered significant injuries. Therefore, you may be able to claim damages for mental pain and anguish due to the circumstances surrounding the accident.
While some personal injury claims may seem relatively straightforward to you, there is the likelihood that the insurance company handling your claim will do everything possible to minimize the payout on your claim, no matter what type of damages you are claiming. The Madison personal injury attorneys of Boller & Vaughn will meet with you at no cost in order to the facts relevant to your situation. Once we have heard all of these facts, we can evaluate your claim and the settlement offer that you have received from the insurance company, if any. We will assess your claim and place a value on it in order to get the maximum payout to which you are entitled from the insurance company. Take the first step and call our office today to set up your free consultation with one of our Wisconsin personal injury lawyers.

Operation Delta Dog is a Massachusetts based charity organization that aims to tackle two problems at once; the epidemic of veteran suicides and the overflow in animal shelters.
Did you know that Massachusetts is home to about 400,000 veterans and that every day, 22 veterans take their own lives in the United States... almost one per hour.
Each year, more than 50,000 dogs wind up homeless in Massachusetts. Many of these animals are sweet-tempered and trainable, but there's just nowhere for them go.
From Operation Delta Dog
"Assistance animals are a practical and successful way to reduce stress, treat depression, and manage the panic attacks associated with PTSD and TBI. Trained dogs, however, are in short supply. Very few service-dog organizations focus solely on veterans, and even fewer utilize rescued dogs in their programs."
Join us in helping to support this amazing organization 1 week before Memorial Day, a day where we remember those who have given their service and some, the ultimate sacrifice, to our country.
We'll honor our hero's the way we know, with a hero WOD; Murph.
After, stay for food donated by local restaurants like Annas taqueria, Boloco, and a raffle with great prizes.
When: Friday May 20th 6 PM - 8:30 PM
Who: Everyone. The more the better.
The Workout: Murph

Below is an assorted list of some of the unexpected differences we found living in Munich. Photos throughout are of bizarre-to-us potato chip flavors.

Part of the fun of living in a new country is to see the changes throughout the year. When we arrived in February and for as long as we had known, the Chinese Tower was one of the biggest, most popular beer gardens, since it is located in the middle of the English Garden (main park similar to SF's Golden Gate Park) and had a band that played often. In winter, they were only open on weekends; during the summer, every wonderful day! Above is a photo from over the summer of me with the band. Spending a warm afternoon with friends and family at the Chinese Tower beer garden was definitely one of our favorite pastimes.
But, since Germany embraces Christmas in a way that words can't describe, they even removed all the benches, tables, and other signs of the beer garden from around the Chinese Tower, and instead, installed a smallish Christmas market, complete with carousel, kids rides, food stands, and booths selling ornaments and other goods. If you wondered what would get Germans to part with their beer gardens, at least temporarily, it seems Christmas succeeds in doing just that!

One of our worries about staying to see Christmas markets was would they all start to seem the same? I mean, how many variations of wood-carved ornaments and glass-blown ornaments and lebekuchen (the gingerbread hearts and Rudolph's) could we really see, even though there are something like 500 different Christmas markets across Europe?

When we first found out we were coming to Europe, being the nerd that I am, I started a Europe Bucket List spreadsheet, and one of the fist things to go on the list was a tour of the process to make real, authentic Parmagiano Reggiano cheese, since it's my favorite cheese of all time. Before you mock that statement, a) I believe everyone should have a favorite cheese - it just makes life better; b) Parmagiano Reggiano is lactose free so lactose intolerant folks can still enjoy - side benefit; c) if you've never had this stuff, and no, what comes out of a green Kraft can doesn't count, go try some. It's amazing. In any case, we did a day tour, and I couldn't stop smiling during the cheese making part. So much so, that Greg said looking back, I would regret the goofy grin and thumbs up photos. I do not. Photo above is by a palace that we saw as part of the tour, but more importantly, here is the abridged version of the cheese making process in five steps:

Anyone who lives in San Francisco knows that the city thrives on the various summer festivals, which all are very unique in their focus, but all have some commons elements, most notably being that they are a great way to spend an afternoon seeing new sights and sounds, eating some fair-style food (although, admittedly far more diverse and high quality than at an actual fair), and possibly buying something from a local vendor. The summer festivals are one of the many things I loved about being in SF, so when we got to Munich, I tried my best to research what festivals they hold here. The results I found online were pretty slim, but having lived here through one summer, we definitely stumbled upon more than a few festivals. Above are scenes from one that I literally ran into when we were showing some friends' parents around.
This is one that we ran into when I went to get money from our nearby bank. It had mini models of various Munich landmarks, which amused us, because we recognize and have been to those sights.
When out for a run, we saw this festival, which we went back to and explored a bit more after a shower. Turns out it was the Isar Island Festival (the Isar being the river that flows through Munich). It had some of the hallmarks that I have grown to recognize at the smallest and biggest Munich festivals, on up to Oktoberfest, including rides for kids of all sizes. On the left above is a giant marble maze, which was unique to this festival.
Also common to all Munich festivals, food carts which usually have variations of sausage, pommes frites, and occasionally a potato pizza like dish. Plus, all have an improvised beer garden as pictured on the bottom. In this case, the beer garden was next to a pretty massive statue. Also, the Munich festivals tend to pop up in any available open space, which often means they are right by a church. It's not every day that you can buy french fries in front of church.
This festival did have some unique experiences for slightly older kids, including that you could zip line over the Isar River (bottom right photo) and you could climb to the almost top of a fully extended fire truck ladder. The kid we watched do the climb couldn't have been more than seven years old, so we, like the rest of the crowd, paused to watch and cheer when he got to the top.
Over the summer, it took us a bit to get used to the weather, because coming from California, summer just means hot, dry weather, and it's wonderful. The photo above is from one of the nicer days in Munich over the summer. It took us a bit to get used to Munich summer weather, because it was nothing like we are accustomed to, but apparently is like the Midwest weather. Generally, it seemed like mornings were warm and no clouds, often pretty dry, and then clouds would start to roll in mid-afternoon. Usually, in the course of an hour, it went from fairly ok, warm, just a bit humid, to big, thick clouds, super humid, and massive rain drops, sometimes even hail. Hail in California is so rare that people usually go outside to touch it, but not in Munich.
Technically, the two photos above aren't from official summer festivals, but they are sights we saw somewhat frequently around town. The Hotel California VW van parked near one of the subway stops Greg used to take to work, and it made me smile every time I saw it. The beer truck is parked in front of our apartment building. Before anyone starts getting confused, no, we don't drink that much beer that we get it delivered via truck, but we do have a sort of frat house next to us, and during the warmer parts of the school year, once a week, they get a beer delivery. I call them a sort of frat house, because I'm not sure that they are actually associated with any of the Munich universities, and they are silent with no big events of any sort, so completely unlike any US frat. I found out they were a frat when I looked up their building logo online; they are that quiet. But the beer truck also always makes me smile when I see it.
One of the few festivals that you do read about in Munich is Auer Dult (roughly translates to meadow on the Au river), which happens for ten days three times a year, and is described as a mix of a flea market and a festival. I visited the fall one a couple days ago, and found it had many of the usual festival trends, including improvised beer garden, rides for kids, and food boths, including the top left photo showing a similar pastry to the one I absolutely loved in Prague and that I think may be one of my favorite treats in all of Europe. So excited to taste them again!
Also, the Dult (as it's called) takes place in front of a church, so this time, you could buy "Western" food, or any number of flea market items right in front of the church. Again, that's not always the case, but it makes for a funny photo or two.
Since Auer Dult features stuff for sale, I saw lots of demonstrations of things like vegetable slicers, cleaning products, storage containers, all things that seemed like an infomercial, except they were happening in real life and were in German. As you may have noticed in the photos from Auer Dult (framed in orange), fall has definitely set in here in Munich. Leaves are changing colors; people are bundling up in jackets and scarves; the person I went to Auer Dult with bought herself another pair of gloves. Fall has hit.
And it's only going to get worse. This was the weather forecast for this weekend. Yes, that's snow predicted for four days in a row. Snow. In October. In California, October is warm and you often don't even have to put a jacket on when you go out trick-or-treating. Here, I spent an entire day trying to wrap my brain around that the forecast high would be 36. I'm sorry, but for October, 36 is not a high! In my mind, it's a freakishly cold record-breaking low. Toto, we're not in California anymore.

On the list of things I found out after the fact, the BMW Museum is different from the BMW Welt and also different from the BMW Headquarters. Each is supposed to have a slightly different focus (past, current/future, corporate operations), but to me, it all seemed to overlap quite a bit, so I'm treating it all as one. For those who are particular about these matters, the BMW Welt is pictured on the bottom right and where we sat on motorcycles in the left photo. The BMW Headquarters are the tower that is shaped like a four-cylinder engine in the top right photo, and the BMW Museum is the salad bowl shaped thing next to that.

Yesterday was one of those days which at the end of the day, even though I was exhausted, I kept thinking, how did we get this lucky?! For some background, when I made my Europe bucket list, going to a soccer match was under consideration, but got left off the list due to multiple folks saying if we go, be extra careful to not get in any fights. It's not as if I ever have started a fight, but when I go to Niners games, I may get a bit, ahem, passionate, and since we got lots of warnings that the brawls at European soccer matches can be epic, that combined to us thinking maybe we wouldn't go to a soccer match. Fortunately for us, Greg's client organization has one of the private corporate boxes at the Allianz Arena, which is where FC Bayern plays their home games. Perfect solution! Add in that Greg's charm got him on the short list for when the tickets became open to his project, and we were in. The group met at Oktoberfest, where Greg's charm was on full display at the beer carousel featuring his favorite beer. Only at Oktoberfst!

We have had enough visitors come to Munich that I've gotten ok at giving an unofficial walking tour of the city center, but I keep meaning to take an official tour so that I fill in some fun facts for my walking tour. In any case, these photos are almost all from Greg's dad when I gave them the unofficial walking tour. I may have done a little editing because they got really great weather for the bulk of their trip, but that made the light super bright and hard for mid-day photos.
We start the tour at our apartment, and walk around through one of the three remaining original gates in the wall that was around the city. Yup, our apartment, even hundreds of years ago, was inside the wall, so we would have been protected from medieval invaders. Once we cross through that gate (sadly, no photo of it), we come to this; it's the Old Town Hall, originally from the 14th century, totally destroyed in WW2, but rebuilt. Nowadays, it's a toy and doll museum.

When Aimee Belisle of Woonsocket, R.I., was a freshman at Bentley College in Waltham, Mass., she thought that crying herself to sleep every night was normal. She became moody and began skipping meals. By her junior year, she was cutting herself. That's when a college friend took her -- carried her -- to the college counseling center.
There, she was linked up with one-on-one talk therapy, and a psychiatrist retained by the college prescribed the anti-depressant Paxil. Although Belisle had setbacks along the way, she said the treatment for depression turned her life around. She graduated in 2002 and became an advocate for depression screening. She made her battle part of her successful bid to become Miss Rhode Island 2004.

Malcolm Walker – the maverick CEO of Iceland supermarkets and a self-made millionaire. Malcolm - who dishes out suitcases of cash to his best-performing workers - believes that his shoot-from-the-hip style of leadership holds the key to a happier workforce and a profitable business.
But Iceland faces big challenges - from its competitors, the recession, the horse-meat scandal and the British public's prejudice about Iceland and frozen food.
Over the course of a year, this three-part series follows the fortunes of Iceland as Malcolm opens the doors to his 800-store empire and shares the secrets of the boardroom, the Willy Wonka-style food innovations and the colourful life of the company in one of its toughest years. As the cost of living continues to rise, the series takes a timely look at debates around the quality and price of food, and confronts our perceptions of frozen food.
Episode one introduces the world of Iceland - the only supermarket to have ever topped the Sunday Times list of best big company to work for. Malcolm started out in 1970 with a handful of freezers in Shropshire, and now manages 25,000 staff who provide low-cost frozen food to over four million families every week. But last year, the banks put Iceland up for sale, and Malcolm and his executive team gambled a billion pounds to buy the company back. And since then, sales have been flat.
Back at Iceland's headquarters, Director of Buying, Nigel, is trying to reinvent the party finger food range in a bid to fend off competition from other supermarket giants. They need to come up with more of the innovative food combinations that Iceland is known for, like their popular doner kebab pizza. Senior buyer, Alastair, heads to Thailand in pursuit of exotic finger food, while Desserts Buyer Gemma is trying to get a new product off the ground. But as the New Year arrives, the alleged discovery of horse DNA in an Iceland beefburger keeps Technical Manager Trish busy and threatens to send sales plummeting.
Iceland Foods: Life In The Freezer Cabinet was produced in partnership with The Open University. Academic advisor to the programme was Dr Fiona Ellis-Chadwick, Senior Lecturer in Retail Management at The Open University.
The three part series starts on Monday 21 October at 9pm on BBC Two.

After our stop at the Hot Springs it was time to make the drive to the Dead Sea (also the lowest point on earth at 1,388 feet below sea level!) and face the inevitable: we were possibly going to freeze to death, but there was no way in the world we WEREN'T going in the Dead Sea!
|{looking out at the Dead Sea on our drive there....pretty, right?}
Upon arrival, we checked out the "instructions" for swimming at The Dead Sea:
We paid our entry fee, went to change, and headed down to the beach.
|{yes, I am still wearing ALL of my clothes over my bathing suit...I still wasn't convinced that I was actually going to go in!}
Pete, being the brave soul that he is, headed in first.
Side Note: It was WINDY! Just look at those waves! That was a big reason why I was hesitant at first to go in. All you hear is 'DON'T GET THE WATER IN YOUR EYES!!' It will hurt. It will sting. You will go blind...just kidding. But I was really nervous about the waves splashing the water in my eyes!
|{you really do float!}
After seeing my brave husband get in and float, I knew I had to suck it up and DO IT! How mad would I be at myself if every time we told the story about the trip I would have to say that I was too afraid to actually go in the water?!
Getting there...
Almost thwarted by a wave...
Can I tell you a funny story??
The water was actually WARM! I kid you not. If it weren't for the waves, it would have been a pretty pleasant experience.
Well not quite this pleasant...
|{image via a Jordanian tourism website}
But we accomplished our goal of floating in the Dead Sea..and it really wasn't THAT bad. We can say that we did it, and that's all that matters!
Now, some fun out-takes from our swim:
After a jam-packed day, the next day we kept it a bit more low key and headed to see the Roman ruins in Jerash and downtown Amman. Check back tomorrow to hear all about ...

Discover Sparkling Wine
Posted on 12/05/2012 by Marissa Jamison
For centuries, sparkling wine has enjoyed a certain mystery and allure. This drink was so enchanting, some called it "devil's wine" due to the effervescent bubbles. Today, we still love the magical bubbles and appreciate the romance surrounding this delightful wine.
Fun Facts
- There are 90-110 pounds of pressure per square inch in a bottle of sparkling wine – that's more than three times the pressure in car tires!
- The grapes traditionally used in Champagnes are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
- Only sparkling wine from the Champagne region in France can officially be called "champagne."
- Dom Perignon, a Catholic monk and avid winemaker, accidentally discovered sparkling wine when some of his wine re-fermented by chance. He thought it was ruined, but the rest is history.
- There are an estimated 44 to 57 million bubbles in every bottle of bubbly.
- The cuvée solution often contains spirits such as Cognac.
Serving and Storing Sparkling Wine
- Sparkling wine may best be known as a celebratory drink, but we believe it's the perfect every day wine too. Whatever the occasion, enjoy your favorite sparkling wine with these helpful tips:
- Chill the bottle in the refrigerator prior to opening. The cold temperature helps preserve the bubbles when opening the bottle.
- Sparkling wines are best when served at 33-40 degrees.
- When opening a bottle of sparkling, hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle. Loosen the cage and hold the cork. Gently twist the cork until you hear a whisper of a pop.
- Holding a towel over the cork when opening will help catch any spills that may occur.
- Double-check your glasses to ensure the glass is free from detergent residue. A perfectly clear glass allows you to appreciate the bubbles.
- After opening, all sparkling wines begin to lose their bubbles, so it's best to drink them as soon as possible.
- To store an open bottle of bubbly, you can use a special Champagne topper. These metal caps with a rubber seal keep the bubbles fresh for the next time you want a glass.
- Most sparkling wines are sold ready to drink, so don't hang on to bottles in an effort to further "age" the wine.
An Array of Sparkling Wine Options
- Biltmore Estate® Blanc de Blancs: A dry sparkling wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes.
- Biltmore Estate® Brut: A dry sparkling wine made from traditional champagne grapes of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir.
- Biltmore Estate® Blanc de Noir: A dry sparkling wine with a light pink hue made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes.
- Biltmore Estate® Sec: A semi-sweet sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.
- Biltmore® Pas de Deux: A semi-sweet sparkling wine made from 100% Muscat Canelli grapes.
Biltmore Bubbles Tour at the Winery
And of course, nothing conveys the quality of our sparkling winemaking more vividly than seeing (and tasting!) it for yourself. If you're in the neighborhood, drop in for a Biltmore Bubbles program at Biltmore Winery that focuses on the process by which they are made.Return to Blog

Fox in the Dutch Dunes Hand Embroidered Pin Brooche
This listing is for one hand embroidered needlepainting of a autumn afternoon in the Dutch sand dunes, made into a pin brooche; like a small piece of art for you to wear wherever your travels lead you to. The needlepainting is inspired by an afternoon in autumn in the dunes in Scheveningen, the Netherlands.
I've lived in the Hague for a few years and the dunes are a very special place, so close to the city and yet it feels so removed from the busy life and concrete of the big city, as you walk through the sand dunes and look at the many colours around you, smell the salty air from the North Sea just on the other side. The dunes are not only beautiful, they also protect the land against the sea, as the majority of the Netherlands lies below sea level. As I took a picture of the path, a fox crossed it, so of course he had to be added to the embroidery. A beautiful reminder that even with the city conveniences nearby, nature is never far away..
The needlepainting embroidery is done completely by hand, with very fine filament silk threads, each thread about three times as fine as one strand of regular embroidery thead, and on sturdy cotton fabric. The silk is embroidered on in layers to give it depth, and the process of embroidering costs about 8 hours of handwork.
After the hand embroidery is finished, it is put into a silver coloured setting with a sheet of thick, quality plastic inbetween to protect the embroidery against the elements. It has a little clip on the back to pin it on your clothes, so it's perfect for you to wear on your next travels!
The brooch will be packed sturdily in a pretty box, with a certificate detailing the inspiration and the story of the needlepainting. This pin is a carefully created piece of art, celebrating the beauty of nature.
The pin is 3.5 by 5 cm(1.4 by 2 inch) large. If you'd rather have this needlepainting as a pendant necklace, that is also possible-just put a note along with your order and I will convert it to a pendant with a necklace at no extra charge and no extra processing time. The pin is the same dimensions as the pendant.
This piece will be shipped out within 1-3 business days. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message!
